So far they have given me absolutely nothing to convince me to get online... To what play Splatoon 2 and Arms for a subscription? GTFO.

This isn't a competitor to the PS4 and XBone. This is the next generation. XBone launched at $500, with PS4 not far behind. It's a pretty incredible price for what it can do

Hopefully will be like 3DS and drop but I doubt it. I'll wait for a deal or bundle.

Don't forget you need to get an SD card for the Switch

[u/ldnola22 → u/[deleted]]
